CHICAGO (Dec. 12, 2014) – U.S. Under-20 Men’s National Team head coach Tab Ramos has named a roster for the USA’s final foreign training camp of the year
from Dec. 15-22 in Honduras.

Nineteen players are headed to the camp, which will feature matches against the Honduras U-20s on Dec. 18 and 21 at Morazan Stadium in San Pedro Sula. The
Dec. 18 game kicks off at 4 p.m. local (5 p.m. ET) and the Dec. 21 match at 2 p.m. local (3 p.m. ET). (Note: Multiple changes have been made to the roster since the initial release.)

This is the U-20 MNT’s final foreign training camp of the year before turning its focus on the 2015 CONCACAF U-20 Championship starting Jan. 9 in Jamaica.

The USA roster for Honduras features nine of the 10 players who took part in the U-20 MNT’s recent domestic fitness camp from Dec. 3-10 in Bradenton,
Florida.

The group also includes midfielders Russell Canouse and Romain Gall, who are the only two players to feature in all seven of the U-20 MNT’s international
matches this year. Canouse leads the team with six starts and Gall is tied for third on the U-20s with two goals, both of which came during the USA’s 4-3
victory against Russia’s U-21 national team on Nov. 12 in Marbella, Spain.

Goalkeeper Zack Steffen, who officially signed with Bundesliga club SC Freiburg on Friday, has posted shutouts in both of his matches this year – a 4-0 win
against Bermuda and a scoreless draw against Australia en route to the NTC Invitational title.

The USA roster includes 17 players with ties to the Development Academy.

The U-20 MNT is 4-1-2 in international competition and 10-2-2 overall in 2014.

Following the Honduras camp, the U-20s will hold a pre-World Cup qualifying camp in Florida before departing for the 2015 CONCACAF U-20 Championship. The
USA opens Group A play at the CONCACAF U-20 Championship against Guatemala on Jan. 9 at Independence Park in Kingston, Jamaica (5:30 p.m. ET kickoff).

MARBELLA, Spain (Nov. 15, 2014) – The U.S. Under-20 Men’s National Team defeated Ireland 1-0 at Estadio San Pedro, posting its second victory in as many
games at the 2014 Marbella U-21 International National Teams Football Tournament.

Dembakwi Yomba scored his second goal of the tournament and USA goalkeeper Santiago Castaño made four saves for the clean sheet.

The U-20 MNT wraps up the Marbella Tournament against Canada on Tuesday, Nov. 18, at the Marbella Football Center. Kickoff is at 10:30 a.m. ET.

Yomba scored his second goal in as many games, intercepting the ball against Ireland’s central defense and burying his shot into the back of the net for a
1-0 lead in the 13th minute.

That proved to be enough for the USA as Castaño earned his first U-20 shutout and improved to 2-0-1 on the year.

As a team, the U-20 MNT posted its third international shutout of the year. The USA’s other clean sheets occurred at the 2014 National Training Center
Invitational against Bermuda (4-0) and Australia (0-0) in July.

CHICAGO (Nov. 7, 2014) – U.S. Under-20 Men’s National Team head coach Tab Ramos has named a 20-player roster that will compete in three matches at the U-21
International National Teams Football Tournament in Marbella, Spain. (Note: roster changes have been made since the initial release)

The USA opens with a match against Russia’s U-21 national team on Wednesday, Nov. 12, at the Marbella Football Center. The U.S. then takes on the Republic of
Ireland’s U-20s on Nov. 15 at San Pedro Stadium and Canada’s U-20 national team on Nov. 18 at the Marbella Football Center.

The majority of this roster has featured for the U-20 MNT over the past two years, with 17 players being brought into previous camps.

Fulham midfielder Emerson Hyndman joins a U-20 camp for the first time this year. He made his U.S. Men’s National Team debut on Sept. 3, with head coach
Jurgen Klinsmann calling him in for the final 24 minutes of the USA’s 1-0 victory against the Czech Republic in Prague. Hyndman also played for the U.S.
U-23 MNT during its Oct. 14 match against Brazil’s U-23s.

Three players have earned their first U-20 call-ups in Tottenham’s Cameron Carter-Vickers, Orlando City’s Tommy Redding and Atlético Madrid’s Dembakwi
Yomba. Redding joins his Orlando City teammate Tyler Turner, who was called into camp earlier this year but is still in search of his first international
cap at this level. Carter-Vickers recently got the start for the U.S. U-23 MNT against Brazil.

FC Dallas midfielder Kellyn Acosta was a member of the USA’s 2013 FIFA U-20 World Cup team in Turkey.

The roster also features 18 players who have previous ties to U.S. Soccer’s Development Academy.

The U-20s have a 2-0-2 international record this year, highlighted by their championship run at the 2014 National Training Center Invitational in July.
Overall, the U-20 MNT is 8-1-2, with a runner-up showing at the 2014 Dallas Cup in April. TSG 1899 Hoffenheim midfielder Russell Canouse and Tijuana
defender John Requejo are the only two players on this U-20 roster who have featured in all four international games this year.

This is the USA’s second-to-last international trip of the year. The U-20s will hold a foreign training camp in mid-December in Jamaica, the location of
the 2015 CONCACAF U-20 Championship. The U.S. will then take part in a domestic camp in late December and early January before the Jan. 9-24 World Cup
qualifying tournament in Kingston and Montego Bay, Jamaica.

The U.S. U-20 MNT was drawn with Jamaica, Trinidad & Tobago, Aruba, Panama and Guatemala in Group A for the CONCACAF U-20 Championship. The USA opens
the tournament against Guatemala on Jan. 9 and looks to qualify for the 2015 FIFA U-20 World Cup in New Zealand.

Zach Pfeffer and Romain Gall each tallied a goal in the first half and the defense maintained the clean sheet the rest of the way. Goalkeeper Santiago
Castaño needed to make only one save for the shutout.

Pfeffer drew a penalty in the opening minutes with a low cross that hit a Racing defender’s hand. Pfeffer converted the subsequent penalty kick for a 1-0
lead in the 11th minute.

In the 27th minute, Paul Arriola intercepted the ball in the center circle and slotted the ball ahead to Gall. Gall, on the quick break, shouldered his way
past the Racing defense and hit a hard, low shot that found the left corner of the frame for a 2-0 lead.

The USA is in the midst of a 10-day training camp in Buenos Aires. Next up for U.S. U-20 MNT head coach Tab Ramos’ side is a game against the Defensa y
Justicia Reserves on Saturday, Sept. 6, followed by a matchup against Argentina’s U-20s on Tuesday, Sept. 9.
